Five other books chosen by my classmates

       1. The first book that I chose from the other posts is The Best of London by Henri Gault and Christian Millau that had chosen by Sun, YiHao. The book is a list of every popular places in London for every purposes and all hierarchies. The descriptions of the places draw a general picture of London's way of living. "The seedy, cosmopolitan streets of Bayswater are redolet with fragrant charcoal grills, but more often than not these mouth-watering smells come from handfuls of herbs thrown on hot coals and not from the cooking, which is usually uniform and poor". This is an introduction of Fournaki Restaurant, a restaurant in Bayswater for greek. "The best of London" is printed by Crown Publishers and The Knapp Press in New York in 1982.       
       
       2. Gods of Commerce: How Business Really Works by Michael Phillips chosen by Tolan, Curtis F  is about business fields which contains trade, industry, and clientry. The book generally defines those fields of business and gives the audience an idea of the way business works. "Stability, economic, legal, social, and physical, is what permits a tradesperson to plan and allows a business to thrive over time". Obviously, the quote states the matters of business and from that gives some senses of what is in the business term. This book is printed by Clear Glass Press in San Francisco in 1997. 
       
       3. The Development of Memory in Children by Robert Kail chosen by Hyun, HanSole is a psychology book which informs the audience with a knowledge of memory development. The book is based on researches on childrens. Reading this book helps people to understand more about the way people memmorize and what affects this process such as age and gender. "One simple way in which the age groups differed was in the number of ways they suggested of trying to remember the birthday party: The older children were considerably more resourceful, suggesting an average of 2.5 ways of remembering the party compared to 1.35 for the kindergarten children". The book is printed by W.H. Freeman and Company in New York in 1979.
      
       4. Malaysia by T.E. Smith and John Bastin chosen by Phung, Trang T is about Malaysian custom and culture in general. The book inform the audience with the creation of Malaysia. On the other hand, it refers to Malaysian lives nowadays and in the past at the same time; from that it pictures the way of lives and social problems in Malaysia. "One of the precarious aspects of the problem of finding jobs for the increasing labour-force is that the Malaysian economy is still very independent on producing and exporting rubber". "Malaysia" is printed by Headley Brothers LTD in London, Great Britain in 1967.
       
       5. A technique for producing ideas by James Webb Young chosen by Jamaa, Abdalle M  is about producing ideas process by experiences of communicating. It's also about creative thingking. The book was printed by Crain Books in Chicago in 1975. "This has brought me to the conclusion that the production of ideas is just as definite a process as the production of Fords; that the production of ideas, too, runs on an assembly line; that in this production the mind follows an operative technique which can be learned and controlled; and that its effective ise is just as much a matter of practive in the technique as is the effective use of any tool". Indeed, this quote gives the audience an idea of how "the production of ideas" is defined.
